: About Me

I am a writer, a mom, a wife, a blogger and an advocate for the planet.

I love being outside more than anything rain or shine. I am a little quirky but believe that it makes life much more interesting.

My creative blog, Dancing to the music in my head is where I jam out the words that come to me when I should be doing other things. I write about my career, my family, the environment, public relations, being an ecology student in grad school, politics and anything else that catches my fancy. I am pretty outspoken and this is my outlet. Join the conversation!

I also have a professional blog, Everyday Public Relations, where I try to use the PR skills I have learned in everyday life situations. Interesting to say the least. Come by and visit sometimes. Everyone is welcome. I recently started Adventures in Conservation PR to highlight the adventures I have had writing about wildlife conservation while working in public affairs. I am most proud of my joint project with my son - The Little Red Car, a children's book, written blog style which incorporates readers comments into the storyline. I am so glad my children are exploring their creativity.

So why don't more urban families take part in this activity? Perhaps it is a lack of programs or perhaps it is simply that families living the fast-paced live of urban and even suburban areas are already feeling stretched thin with activities and after soccer, baseball, piano lessons, football practice, PTA, band, boy and girl scouts, there simply isn't time for one more activity even if it is free and would get th...
